The Great Wolf and the Good Woodsman

The classic story by Helen Hoover has new woodcut illustrations by Betsy Bowen. Although he has a reputation as a creature to be feared; in this story a wolf summons help for an injured woodsman who has always provided food for the forest animals. The wolf was rewarded for his kindness, and ever since if you listen closely at Christmas, you will hear the howling wolf call "Nooooo-ellllll! in memory of the Great Wolf and the Good Woodsman.
